When it comes to living and sustaining a healthy lifestyle, many people might start thinking about how difficult this is despite knowing that it is good for them. However, this lifestyle doesn’t and shouldn’t have to feel like a chore to anyone. You are simply putting your health & yourself first!

You have made that brave decision that you want to take control of your life, to live longer, to be stronger so that you are able to do more and experience more things in life. This process should feel empowering and make you feel like you can do anything.

“Yes, but exercising is just so tough, repetitive and boring…”

What if we told you that exercising can actually be fun and make you feel like you’re playing without even realising that you’re also getting a good workout in? Well, it’s not too good to be true. Here are 5 places you can play while getting stronger & fitter!

Play with sensitive wall and floor panels that lights up at Optimum Performance Studio

Imagine working out in an arcade. That is the experience you can get at Optimum Performance Studio with their PAVIGYM™. A PAVIGYM™ is basically a room decorated with different shapes on the floor and on the walls. Some are empty. Some are numbered. These shapes can light up and it will only go away after applying some pressure on it.

So, expect a workout involving ball throwing, stepping, or hitting the panels that are lit up — just like playing whack-a-mole but using your full body. While you’re playing, little do you even realise that it’s already been almost an hour and you’re done with your workout for the day!

Playing with virtual reality while getting fit at 4ward Fitness

4ward Fitness provides you yet another “arcade” you can work out in, except this time, you are playing with floor panels and walls installed with virtual reality technology. You just have to follow the instructions as if you are playing a video game, next thing you know, you are placing your hands and feet in various workout positions and working up a sweat!

Bike in water at Velocity

Here’s another “what if” for you. What if we tell you that you can combine relaxing in a bathtub while getting your workout? Enter Velocity’s aquabike.

What you’ll go in this experience is cycling while immersed in water. The aquabike is placed inside a bathtub that has jacuzzi spa technology installed. All of this can help you exercise in a restorative and weightless environment.

Bounce Limit is Asia’s first trampoline fitness studio. The studio provides more than 10 different functional and bodyweight classes that can get you fitter and stronger. All of these classes are of course, conducted using your own trampoline. Definitely a fun way to get a total body workout in!

Stand Up Paddle (SUP) Yoga

As summer is just creeping around the corner, here’s a unique way to workout for ocean lovers. Learn how to paddle and practice yoga on your paddle board. This combination is a fun and challenging way to practice yoga as it requires extra presence of mind for you to be able to balance yourself to do the poses on your board.

The increased presence of mind is exactly what SUP Yoga wishes to bring to its students not just within the classes, but outside the class too.
